About

Dr. John Seaton Elementary School is located at 1279 Seaton Road in the Village of Sheffield. The School is a 1 storey design that was constructed in 1968. It is approximately 37,775 sq. ft. in size situated on a 14.25+/- acre site with +/- 860 ft. of frontage along Seaton Road. The surrounding land uses are predominantly agricultural and the property is situated north-east of the Rural Hamlet of Sheffield.

HWDSB adopted a resolution declaring the Dr. John Seaton Elementary School and lands surplus to the Board’s needs and authorized Administration to dispose of the surplus property in accordance with Ontario Regulation 444/98.   Under the  Board’s Property Disposition Policy 3.12 and as a professional courtesy to the public, HWDSB’s administration staff will be holding a Public Information Session to inform the local community and interested parties of the requirements and procedures the Board must adhere to when disposing of surplus property.

Members of HWDSB Staff and a Planning Consultant will be available to speak about this property as well as Beverly Central, Queen’s Rangers and Spencer Valley.

Why Sell the Land?

While the Ministry of Education provides funding for the construction of new schools, there is still a substantial contribution required by the Board.  The selling of surplus property is one of the Board’s means to generate revenue in support of funding their ongoing capital projects.
